Emma Roberts's Post-Breakup Ritual Was Awesome and Inspiring

Shortly after Emma Roberts's career really took off after she'd been cast in American Horror Story: Coven, the media scrutiny began. The actress and Allure January 2016 cover star, who by then had become romantically attached to her costar Evan Peters, was arrested in Montreal for a domestic violence incident. Peters didn't press charges, they released a statement to Us Weekly calling it a "misunderstanding," and the relationship resumed. Within months, Roberts was wearing an engagement ring from Peters. Then, last June, they confirmed that they'd called off their engagement.

When asked if he is gone from her life, Roberts's response is brief for the first and only time during the interview, her expression wounded and withdrawn: "I don't want to talk about that."

What she will say is this: She replaced that engagement ring with three others on her left hand, gold rings that she bought for herself after "a breakup." What purchasing them meant to her was something her mother told her: "Always love yourself, and always know what you're worth."
